Invincible
Saw it yesterday. Ehh. A competent movie. Granted, I'm an Eagles fan (difficult, I know), and a Philadelphian (down right hard); but for the most part it's your standard rags-to-rich flick, stomping through the footsteps of "Rocky" sometimes literally. Ericson Cole, the director and DP really captures the older parts of Philly. Acting is competent; but in this Mtv, microve, ADD society of ours just about every scene lasts as long as a Mentos commercial. I long for the days of longer scenes.
In other news, I'm not as lost in my writing prowess as recently blogged. On the same Triggerstreet website I was given a very generous review of my script. I did pull it however and plan a touch up rewrite. Think of it as airbrushing the script's tits to look boobalishous.
Stay tuned for what dreams may come. |

screw the theory
I was just reading your comment about not knowing what your doing.It is the ongoing plague of the creative mind, how do I turn theory into craft, idea into manuscript, painting, drawing or sculpture into reality. Having flirted with a variety of creative mediums I have retreated from all these ongoing creative trades with one constant element mind.
Screw theory...by this I mean that" Theory" is just that..theory...a bunch of ideas gathered through analysis to achieve an educational objective for the interested participant.
Every artist of any note is wise to the downside of over exposure to theory, a tightrope must be walked betwen Theory, Craft and execution of Personal Creativity and Perspective. This balancing act comes with time and the ongoing realization that all creative acts are gifts. A gift from the self, devised from a direct emotional reaction to the exterior world via a deep processing system living deep with in the sub conscious elements of one's mind.
Too much theory can stifle one's personal sense of creativity, suffocate it in fact. The knowledge and empathy and practice of one's Craft, the nuts and bolts of good storytelling is similar in practice to how a carpenter would use a hammer, a tool for driving nails. Good application of Craft increases one's ability to access the subconscious, especially when an understanding of Craft runs parrallel to an individual's personal sense of perspective.
How is this done?...through exposure to life's High's and Low's, with exposure to analytical research that will in turn spark a sense of creative reflex that runs parrallel to one's personal sense of perspective.
An artist should constantly be on safari for the new, the bland, the boring, the exciting, the engaging and the historical themes that run like a torrential finite river through us all
